Will AA refit the Zodiac seats off the other aircraft? Some product consistency would help. I wish the US3 would put proper curtains back on their aircraft- block out the galley light! Realistically curtains don’t make an aircraft any less safe once a person of threat is onboard.... I recently flew...
Jump to postWhat if AA wet leased CX crew and equipment for a route like this? CX could probably earn better yields and also rotate aircraft for their HKG routes more efficiently. Anyone think that they could pull that off?
Jump to postLower costs for BA = Lower ticket prices for you.

Jump to postHonestly disappointing ride on SQ. To me it seems like an 777NG. I guess that it is operationally more efficient, but from a passenger standpoint, nothing special to say.

Jump to postFor one, CX charges over the top prices for people based in HK. I only fly them for work now, as I find flying home for Christmas or holidays much cheaper on Emirates, Asiana, United and Air Canada.
